Exclamation LP640 Production cut DRASTICALLY !

12-19-2006

The supplier that provides Carbon Fiber Body Skin Frame pieces for the Lamborghini LP 640, Porsche GT and the Ferrari 599 has stoped production and filed BANKRUPTCY last week.

This will cause the production of the above listed cars to be reduced.

Lamborghini uses the company for approx 70% of its product requirment. There is no issue with its remaining suppliers.

As a result it is estimated this will cause the production to drop to a total of only 104 LP 640 coupes for the USA MY 2007.

I guess the dealer markup will be crazy then...

How much is the MSRP for an LP640 BTW?

I would assume that the article is real, I highly doubt that it is fabricated.
